Sammy Hagar criticizes Kings of Leon for pigeon incident

St. Louis (KSDK) -- Sammy Hagar is sounding off about Kings of Leon stopping its show in St. Louis.

NewsChannel 5's Kasey Joyce told the singer about the group stopping its performance at Verizon Wireless after three songs because of pigeon droppings last month.

Hagar said he never had a problem with pigeon poop while performing in St. Louis.

He said Kings of Leon has been one of his favorite bands, but he must side with St. Louis.

Kings of Leon will perform a free concert in St. Louis for people who had tickets to the July 23rd show.

The new Kings of Leon concert is scheduled for September 25 at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater.

Previous ticket holders can claim their free tickets two ways.
People who purchased Kings of Leon tickets online or by phone will receive an email today with instructions on how to claim their free tickets online. Tickets will then be delivered to their specified email address and can be printed at home.

Fans who bought tickets for the original concert at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater Box Office or Ticketmaster retail outlets can go to the box office starting August 16 to claim their free tickets. Verizon Wireless Amphitheater is open Monday through Friday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
